Some of you listening to this radio station heard a local food pantry's call for help, an urgent message echoing the fear of bare reserve shelves and a deepening food shortage. Now, almost a month later, the picture at the Gateway Food Pantry in Arnold looks dramatically different thanks to a generous community response. When we first visited the pantry, it was on a busy distribution day.
